For the penultimate Gobbledygeek of the year, Paul and Arlo return to an institution they dropped like a bad habit at the start of the pandemic: the Four-Color Flashback! Vickie Willis Navarra, board member of the Comics and Popular Arts Conference at DragonCon, joins the boys to discuss Sandman Mystery Theatre: Book One. Matt Wagner’s resurrection of DC’s Golden Age hero Wesley Dodds, with art by Guy Davis, John Watkiss, R.G. Taylor, and David Hornung, explores the dark dreams of 1938 New York. The gang discusses the art’s sketchy, shadowy noir qualities; Vickie interrupts her praise of Dian Belmont long enough to wonder if Dian falls into the “exceptional female” trope; Paul and Arlo ponder the series’ connection to Neil Gaiman’s Sandman; and more.   NEXT: season 11 comes to a close with a Geek Challenge featuring Thunderheart and Dead Man.   BREAKDOWN 00:00:35  -  Intro / Guest 00:11:50  -  Main Topic 01:54:34  -  Outro / Next     LINKS  V.E.W.

422 - FCF: Sandman Mystery Theatre - Book One (feat. Vickie Willis Navarra)

Dale Guffey

With Buffy the Vampire Slayer in our review mirror and its amazing spin-off series Angel looming on the horizon, we’re going to take this limbo-like space in between to explore some comics. One comic in particular, Joss Whedon’s 2001-2003 four-color debut Fray. Joining me for this discussion 200 years in the making are returning guests Dale Guffey and Vickie Willis Navarra. Together we look at the trauma of being incomplete; female rage; Vickie blows my mind with talk of the control of a woman’s reproduction in the final battle; Dale blows my mind with definitions of the word ‘fray’; and I gush over the artwork of Karl Moline and Andy Owens (including my beloved fight choreography obsession).   NEXT: maybe Angel, maybe more comics. Who knows?     BREAKDOWN 00:00:55  -  Intro / Guest 00:18:53  -  Let’s Go to Work 01:52:30  -  Outro / Next     LIBRARY Faith and Choice in the Works of Joss Whedon, by K. Dale Koontz     LINKS V.E.W. Navarra: Writing All The Things  Call For Papers: LAWYERS AND THE LEGAL SYSTEM IN POPULAR CULTURE (Southwest Popular / American Culture Association)     MUSIC “Conversations (feat.
